XP It's too early
Last night I was stupid and was looking at the Aaron Sims Company concept art stuff. It's all gorgeously done digital work (I think it's all digital?) and they've done work for all kinds of movies: Constantine, I Am Legend, The Incredible Hulk, Prince Caspian, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... But I ended up getting a weird dream. I'm pretty sure it's the stuff in the Creatures page that did it; some of the stuff there is pretty messed up. So now I'm awake at 5:30 in the morning, which is just obnoxious. I can't get back to sleep, because that dream freaked me out, and it's too hot to hide under my comforter. *sigh* This is why I never watch horror movies. I have absolutely no tolerance for them.
Bleh. Yesterday was sort of fun. Aunt Barb & Co went up to Uncle Dick's property near Whitehall for the weekend, and Gramma decided we should go just for the day. We don't go very often because our dog Mya and Uncle Dick's German Shepherd don't get along. Last time we tried to bring her, Mya had to go to the vet and get a few stitches in her leg. So we left Mya to amuse herself in the yard while we were gone, and we were back before sundown.
Uncle Dick's property is up in the mountains. Basically you drive just past Whitehall on the interstate, then turn off and climb up and down a mountain for a half hour. He and Uncle Larry played with power tools, Robert rode the four wheeler around for hours (they went out to find him the one time, after they thought he'd been gone too long), and we girls mostly sat around the campfire. I got a little knitting done, which was nice, and helped with lunch and dinner. I love cooking over a fire. Hell, I love fire. I did get to go on the four wheeler a couple times, but I only got to drive it once. I wasn't feeling very assertive, so whatever. Came back all dried out, sun/windburned, smelling of campfire, and pleasantly tired. On the way back we saw a giant rainbow... it was so pretty. We could see the entire thing, end to end, and it was really distinct.
The day before that was even better; I spent almost the entire day with Tyler. ^.^ We went out to Lindley Park after it got dark, which was fun. Apparently the park "closes" at 11pm? I'm not sure how they enforce this, and we just ignored it. *shrug* We weren't the only ones; there was another car there when we got there. We did see some flashlights that looked like people looking through the park, but we were in an obscure corner and just sat still until they went away.
I realize how much I love Montana when I look at the sky. Nature and the sky seem so much closer, more immediate, when you're right up in it the way you are here. It's an amazing feeling to just look up and lose yourself in the sweep of the clouds, or the black expanse of the night. I've never felt it the same way anywhere else.
Today is D&D again. I've got a group together here to try out 4.0 a bit. It's only our second session, and it should be our first with all members (if Chris doesn't get stuck on a mountain again). Maybe I'll try and get some more sleep before then. *yawn*
